Following on from the recent expenses scandal and the resignation of Mr Laws from the cabinet I have written the folklowing letter to my local newspapaer - shall let you kow if they print it!!!

"Calling all Members of Parliament - if you require comfortable accommodation, all mod cons, close to the M4 corridor, trains and buses I have room for you. £950 per month would be acceptable but more than willing to negotiate"

Saw this on Yahoo and thought it was apt ;)

Little liars grow up to be great leaders

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20100517/tuk-little-liars-grow-up-to-be-great-lea-dba1618.html

"Researchers have found that the ability to tell fibs at the age of two is a sign of a fast-developing brain and means children are more likely to have successful lives.

A team of Canadian academics have found that the more plausible the lie, the more quick-witted they will be in later years and the better their abiliy to think on their feet"



My initial thought was little liars grow up to be great big liars but unfortunately the conclusion of the article says this:



"Researchers say there is no link between telling fibs in childhood and any tendency to cheat in exams or to become a fraudster later in life"
